BCFCGav Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 I think the only way is to go isn't it? Not on TV and as it's a moved 3pm fixture it won't be streamed either? If anyone knows otherwise let me know. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't lie, I hate the uncertainty of those sort of streams so I'll probably stick to twitter updates for this one. Still can't wait, roll on Saturday!

CliftonCliff Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Please forgive the technical ignorance of an old man, but is this done by subscribing to the service which is only available to users outside the UK, and then viewing via what I believe is called a VPN (whatever that is) in order to disguise the fact that you are, in reality, just up the road? If that is the case, just how tricky is that to set up for the pre-senile and technologically challenged? (I think I’m supposed to type “asking for a friend” at this point...)

The VPN is simplicity itself to set up, it's essentially just an app or addon on your desktop that sets up a virtual tunnel to a server in whichever country you choose to be in and routes all your traffic through that so that whomever you connect to sees you as coming from that country. There are multiple VPN apps, some free and some paid for so I would leave it up to you to choose which you use, or find advice elsewhere as I'm not able to recommend any personally. I think the free ones have data caps that probably aren't the best for streaming matches and may have speed issues. The paid ones tend to be in the £5-£10 a month bracket I believe.

There are many other uses for VPN's, a couple may be.... You can get country specific content on Netflix. America especially gets a whole load more stuff than you can get here, though I think Netflix know most of the VPN server addresses and block them so you have to get lucky. If you get a VPN supplier that doesn't keep logs, you also have pretty damn good privacy and security as you can't be traced, so that downloading movies/music etc becomes much more risk free. Also, it's worth bearing in mind that if you have kids and a VPN app suddenly appears that they have installed, a VPN will also bypass any parental controls you may have set up with your ISP as they won't be able to see any of the traffic you are sending or receiving.

Thanks again. That’s informative and also quite reassuring - especially your second paragraph. No parental issues to grapple with, fortunately.

I have been using hesgoal for years now and have never had any problems with malware or virus. I have a malware protection programme and also Advance System Care besides the usual Windows Defender. The only thing I will say about hesgoal, is that it is not as good as it used to be, can buffer a lot and sometimes disappear altogether. I have the £5 option a month for the audio, which is Radio Bristol on the OS and try to watch the stream (if available) as the stream is always behind the commentary by at least a few minutes, I know when a goal is coming.

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Not watching but worth bearing in mind that if you`re outside the RB area but have Sky you can listen to Radio Wales on channel 0117.

Mrdc Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Robins TV is good and buying directly from the club is good but the best option by a mile is IPTV, if you can get a good subscriber you pay peanuts for everything you can imagine and more, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
